Puppy Socialization Play Groups-these sessions are so importance during puppyhood as it is the most important and critical time in your dog's development.

During these play groups, puppies learn to socialize with other puppies and people.

Conformation to Perfection Class-This is a Conformation class that is not just on you or just on your dog.
